All week long John has been introducing crew members that work behind-the-scenes and are very important. Meet Emerick, recent college grad and Ansel Elgort's stand-in.

(SN: Ansel stop being all cute and cheesing while on set.)

Ansel Elgort is playing Augustus in the movie, but
when lighting or setting up scenes, Ansel is often off getting makeup
and stuff. That’s where his stand-in Emerick comes in. He stands (or
sits) in the scene during the set up.Emerick is a fan of The Fault in Our Stars and a recent college
graduate who majored in electrical engineering. He’s doing this “to
delay getting a real job.”So am I, come to think of it.

John has also been shedding some tears while watching the TFIOS filming process. It makes us nervous thinking that if he is crying this much, what awaits us when we watch the movie?

John also let Veronica Roth, author of Divergent, know that she needs to pay a ransom to have her movie stars back.

Also John's Instagram Video adventures with 8-year-old continued

Director Josh Boone also revealed that there will be some Buffy in the movie? (omg omg omg)

Zulkey talked to John about the MTV Movie Awards, his homestate Alabama and TFIOS movie.

You said, "The girl behind The Devil Wears Prada is going to find out exactly what the devil wears when her time comes." But the joke's on you, John, because she came out with a sequel to the book. The question is, did you enjoy the movie, The Devil Wears Prada? And what's the most current update, large or small, on theFault In Our Stars movie?

I did like the movie! Why was I such a jerk to that woman? Why was I always so snarky about everyone? I wish her well with the sequel, and I will probably read it.

As for the TFiOS movie, it is supposed to start filming August 26th, so I guess it is really going to happen? I try not to get ahead of myself, and things could always fall apart, but at this point it looks very likely that they're at least going to film a movie, which is really exciting. I like all the people involved in the movie a lot, and they all seem to care very deeply about the book. It's been a wondrously positive experience, which is not something I can say about every time one of my books has attracted interest from Hollywood people.

We asked people on twitter who they would love to see as Peter Van Houten and we got some really great names! Can't wait to see if the "real" Van Houten is among them!

Robin Williams: IIIIIII (7)Paul Giamatti: IIIIII (6)Jim Broadbent: IIII (4)Ian McKellen: II (2)Jack Nicholson: II (2)Clint Eastwood: II (2)Philip Seymour Hoffman: II (2)
Donald Sutherland: I (1)Mads Mikkelsen: I (1)Peter Capaldi: I (1)Leonardo DiCaprio: I (1)Hugh Laurie: I (1)Liam Neeson: I (1)Mark Ruffalo: I (1)Woody Harrelson: I (1)Robert DeNiro: I (1)Rutger Hauer: I (1)Matt Berry: I (1)Please notice that we are in no way affliated with the production or casting so we do not know anything about the real casting. Iur guess is as good as yours.

Hank Green talked TFIOS Movie in his latest newsletter and is being kind of really cute in his excitement!

Most importantly, of course, John is on the set of the filming of the adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars movie. He's tweeting and tumbling and instagraming regularly and I have his word that he is totally stressed out and deeply enjoying the experience. It seems like it's pretty much the best thing that's ever happened to him, and I want you all to know that the early supporters of the book (of whom, probably the majority are on this email list) are the reason that the book has become so successful. The movie is being made because so many people have come to love the book. Thank you all for your support...I still can't believe that I am going to SIT DOWN IN A MOVIE THEATER AND WATCH THE FAULT IN OUR STARS OH MY GOD!

Things I Learned Today

So The Fault in Our Stars movie started shooting today, which is amazing—so amazing, in fact, that I used the word amazing somewhere in the neighborhood of 41,000 times. Like:
1. It is amazing how many people are working on the movie, and how
professional and organized they all are. There are like 100 people or
something! It’s all amazingly efficient, and yet…
2. It’s amazing how much work goes into every single shot. These
people work 12+ hours per day, and shoot at most a few scenes per day.
3. It’s amazing to watch good actors work, particularly young actors
like Shailene and Ansel. How do they bring such nuance and depth to a
performance? How can they understand these characters so deeply? It
seems a little like wizardry to me.
4. The commitment to detail is amazing. I can’t wait until the movie
comes out and I can be like, “LOOK AT [spoiler redacted]” and “DID YOU
NOTICE THAT [spoiler redacted] IN HAZEL’S ROOM?”
5. It’s amazing how beautiful it all looks. Without getting into
spoilers, the visual look of the movie—from the actors to the sets to
the light—is very similar to a lot of what I imagined while writing,
which is this very weird experience of feeling like your imagination has
actually become visible. This is a very weird experience; maybe
analogous to hallucination?
6. It’s amazing to think that the right people have come together at
the right time with a very real shared passion for this story. I don’t
know whether I have luck or providence to thank, but I am very grateful.

She also talked to People Magazine about her hair saying, "It’s really awesome because there’s no upkeep,” Woodley, 21, told PEOPLE about her new do. “It dries in two seconds and it’s nice not to spend a lot of time getting ready.”

Did she have any second thoughts about the big change? “Hell no!” she said enthusiastically. “I want to go shorter but I don’t think I’m allowed to.”

Really? So how short are we talking? “I want to go short like Natalie Portman in for Vendetta. That would be so cool and liberating.”If you remember, Gus says Hazel looks like Natalie Portman in his favorite movie, V for Vendetta.

She also spoke to ABC News on the red carpet about her hair:

At last night’s MTV Video Music Awards in Brooklyn, “Secret Life of the American Teenager” star Shailene Woodley, 21, showed off her new do – short, slicked back hair.

Woodley was always known for her long brunette waves, but she recently tweeted a pic of her locks coming off and “The Spectacular Now” star told ABC News, she couldn’t be happier with the new look.

“I love it,” she said. “It’s totally free. You get out of the shower, you wipe it down with a towel and it’s done.”
